Last Wednesday evening, evo and group Y hosted a gathering and discussion focused on sustainability and what it means to all of us in the realm of action sports. We had an expert line up of speakers; pro-snowboarder and co-mastermind of Holden outerwear Mikey LeBlanc, former CEO of REI Dennis Madsen, and Stevens Pass Marketing Director Chris Rudolph.
These guys kicked down some serious knowledge and insight and the audience asked some great questions. However, we know that not everyone got the chance to be heard, whether they were in the audience at evo or out there on the interwebs.
So… we’d love to not only continue the conversation and give you a chance to chime in, but also reward one lucky question asker as well!
We’ll be taking questions from you via email and twitter, and kicking back out the answers from Mikey, Dennis and Chris late next week. We’ll award the most creative/inspiring/thought-provoking question with a very cool limited edition skate deck, courtesy of our friends and group Y event sponsors FUEL TV.
So, fire off your questions to us via email, or via twitter to @groupY.
We’ll post the questions and answers on the blog next week and announce the winner!
